Did you make your own links ? and if so would you make another set ?? I want to order a Remedy and would like a tried design over just getting a set made from someone who might not have the same experience with chassis as you do . thanks for your time |

| Re: M_ENERGY's -- Remedy 3.5 He directed me to try M_ENERGY's and I really like the bends he has and if it works from him it should be good for me. and at this point I need to love my crawler again lol. I bought a special opps and I used it 5 times and the chassis broke in 2 places and the panels have almost no scratches. the remedy looks a lot more stout with the geometry looking leaps and bounds better. and at this point I have all top shelf running gear and a chassis that has failed me it all looks brand new still so so frustrating but my addiction is flaring up again so lets buy myself some Christmas gifts and start loving crawling again. |

Gotcha...only thing is M_ENERGY isnt a vendor...so thats why I directed you to BDN. They work together on these so figured that was the best route for you.

Well I got to see a set of BmachineRC's links he is making for the Remedy 3.5 and they are nice!!! I have a set of lowers pretty much identical to what he will be offering NOW! To my favorite part!! BDN dropped me off some real bling and performance that I am really excited about using! The one piece rear axle is one of my favorite upgrades.....I can't stand all the slop in the xr's especially the rear! They get better once they are shimmed out, but there is nothing to do about the locker engagement. These babies are virtually slop free! I will let the pics speak for themselves Now for those who have seen my rig personally always comment on my fancy servo so here is a real nice pic of what a 7950 looks like when it gets broke in my rig is completely dirty from comping in the rain all day! So I definitely gotta tear it down and clean it up a little |

Looking great Derrick have you gotten your new panels from David? How much does it weigh again. I do believe I've got the lightest Remedy now!!!

| Re: M_ENERGY's -- Remedy 3.5 Yes I still gotta put my panels on and I do need to weigh it again. I have made a few more changes! BmachineRC cut me some CF beadlock rings and machined out the SLW's so add that with the 7075 rear axle not sure where I am at anymore. I do believe you have the lightest Remedy thats why I am bringing a fan to the next comp not even a big fan just a little pocket fan to blow your rig off the rocks J/K I wanna see how it performs being so light!!

More info on the axle? Does the gear need to be modified? I'm guessing it does. Got any pics of it without the gear on it?

| Re: M_ENERGY's -- Remedy 3.5 Yes the gear has to be modified. I am not 100% sure, but BDN was looking into supplying the modified gear with the axle. Not sure on that so he may chime in.

| Re: M_ENERGY's -- Remedy 3.5 Yes, The gear is milled out so the Straight Axle is a press fit into the gear. Then the gear is drilled and tapped for a 3mm set screw under each bearing. |

Well I finally installed the rear one piece axle. Which is very simple and straight forward, but here is some pics Everything came out to perfect dimensions. I slid the lockout on and it stops at the bearing and it is fully engaged on the axle housing. You can see the little brass bushing that is used to take pressure off the pin when tightening the wheel. Ready for the wheel. The wheel hexes have to be drilled out to slide on the axle. Can't wait to comp this weekend and see some improvement in those tedious moments of crawling. I am sure at the spot we are using this weekend there will be several moments of near rollovers. So every little bit counts |
